Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We report the first record of a non‐native hermatypic coral in Venezuela, exhibiting biological traits characteristic of invasive species. The coral is a member of the genus Acropora (Scleractinia: Acroporidae), native to the Indo‐Pacific. This non‐native petrous coral occurred in a reef of the Morrocoy National Park, in the southern Caribbean.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) have the potential to act as climate refugia for shallower benthic species impacted by environmental change. However, the extent to which mesophotic ecosystems might provide an ecological refuge, particularly for key functional groups like sponges, remains poorly known in temperate systems.

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Natural Products in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Directions
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Natural products play a pivotal role in cancer therapy. They induce cancer cell death by reprogramming four metabolic pathways while precisely targeting the tumor microenvironment and immune cells. These compounds not only leverage novel delivery systems for innovative applications but also demonstrate unique therapeutic efficacy across clinical stages:

Genetic perspectives on the ascidian central nervous system [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2009 In 2002, date of publication of the Ciona intestinalis genome, ascidians entered the post-genomic era. This tool had a fundamental role and has become the starting point for a series of new functional and genomic studies.

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT A unique biogenic bryozoan reef has been recently discovered in Western Port (a temperate embayment), Victoria, Australia. This reef is significant owing to its contiguous, regular, linear rows of densely stacked bryozoan colonies with large vertical relief. We aimed to (1) document the biodiversity of the macroinvertebrate epifauna associated

Protostigmata in ascidians [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1913 It has been showed that at a certain stage in the ontogeny of Ascidians there is usually a definite number of stigmata or gill slits, which are elongated dorsorventrally and arranged in a longitudinal series on each side of the pharynx. To these the name protostigmata was given by Garstang in 1892.
